Crazy! I read an article about him, Fabio Jakobsen and another young Quick-Step talent after his victory in a race he won in Belgium last week. Can't believe I missed him. Although there aren't a lot of sprinters in the race, he certainly does look very good!

Today's summit finish has been taken out due to harsh weather conditions. Will finish on a false flat but the remaining climb should take the pure sprinters out of the equation.

Makes tomorrows finish the only summit one.

Yes, this will, of course suit Valverde rather than Quintana. I have the cheaper Soler 'cos I'm hoping Valverde will fall off his bike and Quintana will pull out due to illness!
Gutted yesterday that Cofidis pulled Bouhanni out of the race "because he was still suffering from his bout of bronchitis". Rumour has it that he was sanctioned for being so out of form. That has put a real dent in my Velogames chances.

Today there is also the Driedaagse De Panne ("Three Days Of De Panne") which has been reduced to a one-day race. This should provide some interesting pointers to Friday's "E3 Harelbeke" (the mini Tour of Flanders) and Sunday's "Gent-Wevelgem"!

Think today's change will have a knock to a few teams, Pinot, Henao and Dan martin were all in with a nice uphill finish today and tomorrow in mind.

Soler is apparently looking at the Volta as preparation for the later classics, so might expect him to do something on the final stage maybe.
